About:

This is a very simple but delicious rustic one pot dish. It is low in fat but high in flavour.

Hot, hot, hot! But wonderful. This will get your taste buds tingling. This is a wonderful dish full of fantastic spicy flavours and a kick of chilli. If you are a curry lover, then you will be coming back to this dish time and time again. Of course! If you don’t like it too spicy, then lessen the amount of chilli. It will still taste absolutely amazing.
